Indonesian-Style Curried Vegetable Soup

Yield: 4 to 6 servings

Ingredients:

2 tablespoons canola oil
2 medium onions, finely diced
4 garlic cloves, minced
2 teaspoons minced gingerroot
2 cups (6 ounces) mushrooms, thinly sliced
2 teaspoons ground coriander
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
4 cups vegetable stock, store- bought or homemade
1 can (14 ounces) unsweetened coconut milk
1 teaspoon salt
2 large boiling (waxy) potatoes, peeled and diced (1/2 inch)
1-1/2 cups green beans, cut into 1-inch lengths
1/4 cup red bell pepper, very finely diced (1/4 inch)
1/2 cup fine egg noodles or 1-inch pieces of broken vermicelli
juice of 1 lemon

Instructions:

Warm the oil in a large stockpot over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, and gingerroot, and saute, stirring often, until the onions are soft and golden, about 10 minutes. Add the mushrooms, then saute for 5 minutes. Sprinkle on the coriander, cumin, turmeric, and cayenne, and cook for 2 minutes, stirring often. Pour in the vegetable stock, coconut milk, and salt, then bring to a boil. Add the potatoes and cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Mix in the green beans, red bell pepper, and noodles, and cook at a lively simmer until the vegetables and noodles are tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in the lemon juice just before serving.

    Easy to make and without the hassle or expense of exotic ingredients. Tastes as good as soups I have had in Indonesian restaurants.
